SQLDump(Crash Dump Files)

  • One of the PRD server got hung due to SQLDump(Crash Dump Files) were generating every seconds and put it into SQL System drive.

    I tried to delete some of the files but it was filling up again within in minutes. So, I had to reboot SQL service and it got stopped.

    Any idea what cause these dump files to be generated ? I looked at the error log and didn't make much sense to me...

    Let me know if anyone encounter similar situation.

    Here is some sample errors from the log.

    External dump process returned no errors.
